Cocci
Aerobic
- Diplococcus
- Neisseria meningitidis
- N. gonorrhoeae
- Moraxella catarrhalis
- Cocco-bacillus
- Haemophilus influenzae
- Acinetobacter
Anaerobic
- Veillonella spp
Rods (Bacilli)
Aerobic
- Lactose fermenting (Lactose positive)
- Enterobacter spp
- Escherichia coli
- Klebsiella spp
- Citrobacter spp^
- Serratia spp^
- Non lactose-fermenting (Lactose negative)
- Oxidase (-)
- Acinetobacter spp
- Burkholderia spp
- E. coli
- Proteus spp
- Salmonella spp
- Shigella spp
- Serratia spp^
- Stenotrophomonas maltophilia
- Oxidase (+)
- P. aeruginosa
- Aeromonas spp.
- Oxidase (-)
Anaerobic
- Bacteroides spp,
- Fusobacterium spp,
- Prevotella spp.
^Serratia and Citrobacter spp can appear initially as non-lactose fermenting due to slow fermentation
Interpretations of Key Phrases
- “Gram negative coccobacilli” may suggest Haemophilus species
- “Lactose-positive gram negative rods” may suggest Enterobacteriaceae, such as E. coli, Klebsiella, or Enterobacter spp
- “Lactose-negative gram negative rods” may suggest Pseudomonas
